The Spool List — Marketplace

The Spool List is the equipment-verified fabrication marketplace. Post a job — get matched to real makers who own the actual machine you need. Not another algorithmic feed. Not another race-to-the-bottom marketplace.

FOR BUYERS
• Post a job in 60 seconds — describe what you need, upload files, set a budget
• Get matched by machine + location — a maker's specific gear rank above hobbyists
• Escrow-secured payment via Stripe — funds released only when you accept delivery
• 350+ verified machines across 17 categories — 3D printing, CNC, laser, embroidery, resin, casting, woodworking, metalwork, jewelry, textiles, PCB, and more
• Verified Maker + Verified Machine badges — cuts risk on higher-value jobs
• Radius search — find local makers or open it up nationwide

FOR MAKERS
• Register your gear once — jobs matching your capability come to you
• 15 free maker tools at thespoollist.com/tools/ — STL checker, quote builder, infill calculator, slicer presets, no signup required
• Stripe Connect payouts to 50+ countries
• Tier-based visibility multiplier — Pro tier expands radius + boost
• Named vertical placement for Founding Partners (cosplay, figurines, replacement parts)

WHO USES IT
• Cosplayers commissioning armor, props, sculpts
• Buyers commissioning custom figurines + collectibles
• Repair customers needing replacement parts (EU Right-to-Repair 31 July 2026)
• Small businesses needing prototypes, short-run manufacturing, custom fixtures
• Engineers, designers, prop makers, cosplay creators, figurine sculptors

MARKET MOMENT
Etsy's 670K seller exodus + Shapeways shutdown + AI-slop fatigue — buyers are actively looking for real makers with verified craft. The Spool List is where they land.

CROSS-PLATFORM
• iOS, Android, web portal — same account, same escrow, same maker network
• End-to-end chat with makers directly in the app
• Push notifications when a maker applies to your job
